We do not as a society pay attention to ambient sounds. We are much more focused on the visual over the auditory. Infrasonic Soundscape is an online interactive artwork mapping the New York City with sounds and it is created as a place where visitors can listen to the hidden sounds to reveal the importance of the city’s soundscape that we do not hear in everyday life. The visitors can use the Flash presentation as an instrument and interact with the sounds recorded in the city’s various locations, such as the World Trade Center’s observation deck, suspension cables of Brooklyn Bridge, and the Grand Central Station’s marble floor.
